Revolutions aren't land slides. They are new directions of thought. Christianity tooks hundreds of years. Though we are talking about games not religion. So instead of thinking of Revolution as viva la revolution over throw the power. Instead think of it's historical movement. Sorta of like how the Pen has become mightier than the sword. Cars became more popular than horses. TV overtook the radio. None of it was instant.

However the signs are already showing of a successful movement of the Revolution. Natal & Sony Wand, MS & Sony are now considering the expanded market. Consoles are more than just games, but machines of software entertainment. In a generation or two some day people will think of the classic controller like people think of the Atari Joystick (http://soledadpenades.com/imgs/joystick.png).

Actually most of the event that were called revolution in the last 2000 years were landslides.

Those I can think off :

- French revolution

- American revolution

- Industrial revolution

 

No history book ever called Christianism a revolution( and justly so as it wasn't the first religion to introduce the concept of one god, christianism doesn't introduce a tonn of new stuff compared to judaism...)

None of them were landslides at all. The Industrial Revolution did not change things overnight, the same for the two political 'transformations'. Some people started to invent machines, but they were not everywhere immediately. It depends which steam engine you use as the starting point: Watt? Newcomen? Do you see the Seedrill as the start of the agicultural revolution? Nothing dramatically changes the world in a few days or weeks. There's clearly room for a debate on this, but I'm not sure anyone could be bothered with it.
